\chapter{The Signal}
The quantum lattice shimmered as the neural interface synced with the void-core. Across the nebula, distant signals pulsed in patterns that defied Euclidean geometry. The ship's AI, call-sign Aurora, had been decoding them for cycles---perhaps messages, perhaps noise from the birth of stars. In the observation deck, Dr. Chen watched the probability clouds collapse into certainty: the coordinates were real.

It was not language---not as we knew it---but structure. Mathematics. A proof, perhaps, or a map.

\chapter{The Reply}
The quantum lattice shimmered as the neural interface synced with the void-core. Across the nebula, distant signals pulsed in patterns that defied Euclidean geometry. The ship's AI, call-sign Aurora, had been decoding them for cycles---perhaps messages, perhaps noise from the birth of stars. In the observation deck, Dr. Chen watched the probability clouds collapse into certainty: the coordinates were real. We transmitted our own proof. The Riemann hypothesis, rendered in quantum states. A handshake across light-years.
